Tower array 118828
Fresno, California · Fresno County
Overview
Dating from the 1980s, this tower array element about 14 km (8.9 mi) from Fresno, CA is registered as ASR 118828 and reaches 123 m (403 ft) above ground.
It is taller than 98.5% of the 6,865 registered structures in California, placing it 101st statewide.
The registrant is Punjabi American Media, LLC, a broadcaster. Structures registered to broadcasters usually carry the station's own transmitting antenna rather than leased wireless equipment.
Line-of-sight distance from the top of a 123 m structure is about 46 km (28.4 mi) under the standard 4/3-earth model. Actual usable range is normally much shorter, since hills, buildings and foliage all cut into it.
Its nearest neighbour is a tower array element 83 m to the SE, standing 60 m tall.
The site lies 14 km (8.9 mi) outside Fresno, which is characteristic of structures placed for terrain and line of sight rather than proximity to population.

About this record
One element of a 2-tower array. Multi-tower arrays are typically AM broadcast antennas, where the towers work together to shape the signal in a particular direction.
Details on this page come from the FCC's public ASR file. The register records the physical structure and its owner; it does not list the antennas mounted on it or the networks they serve.
"Owner" is the entity that registered the structure, usually a tower company such as American Tower or Crown Castle. It does not indicate which carriers operate equipment on the structure.
